Skeletal Family - Radio Sessions 1983/1985 (Flac)

Amazing work by Egg_Crisis, compiling this one for all of us. My soundtrack for the day.

cassette(FM Radio,unknown gen,Maxell UR90 from a trade*) > wav > Soundforge(normalise uneven L&R channels) > CDWave(split on sector boundaries) > flac(6)

* Except tracks 1-4 from a recent re-broadcast in excellent quality, previously posted on Dark Circle Room, thanks to nashspacerocket for sharing that one. 3 of the songs ended abruptly so rather than just fading the ends and damaging them further I extended the ends by a couple of seconds and then applied the fades to these additional parts. In addition to this the start of Black Juju was shorter compared to my lower quality recording of this session so I repeated some drumbeats to re-create the longer intro as it was originally broadcast.
I've also added the DJ announcements as separate files. Despite it being a Peel Session the announcer is Kid Jensen because he repeated the session on his show sometime after the original broadcast.
